Ning Qian is usually witty and charming, and she gets along well with everyone in the household.
However, this approach didn't work at all on Ning Xu.
In front of everyone in the manor, Ning Qian was reprimanded by Ning Xu like this. Her eyes reddened, and she explained, "Second Brother, you misunderstood me... I was just concerned about Xi'er..."
Ning Wei was already agitated. The wedding procession was just a few steps away, and he had no time for such nonsense. He quickly reprimanded Ning Xi'er and ordered a maid to help her wash and change...
Ning Xi'er glanced at Ning Xu, then followed Haitang and Baizhi back to their room.
Despite his deep resentment towards Ning Xi'er and his dissatisfaction with Ning Xu's unilateral decision to return from the border, Ning Wei was ultimately in the wrong...
If Ning Xi'er were to marry Prince Cheng, and the eldest son and Ning Xu were home beforehand, there would definitely be a huge uproar...
The die was cast, and he had no time to waste. He could only instruct his steward to arrange for normal operations while he went to the front hall to greet guests.
Ning Xu stood guard in front of Ning Xi'er's room like a door god, not going anywhere.
Ning Xi'er sat down in front of the dressing table and let two maids help her with her makeup and change her clothes.
Ning Xi'er took out a box of ointment from her spatial storage and gently applied it to the faces of the two maids.
Jade Skin Regenerating Cream, a secret medicine from the palace, is extremely rare.
After applying the ointment, the redness and swelling on the faces of the two maids immediately subsided, and the burning pain also disappeared instantly.
"Miss, why did you come back?"
As Haitang combed Ning Xi'er's hair, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
"Silly girl! Why are you crying?"
Ning Xi'er smiled, indicating that she did indeed want to leave.
"Begonia!"
Bai Zhi whispered a reminder to prevent Madam Chen or other ladies from overhearing, which could then be detrimental to the young lady.
Haitang pouted, "What's there to be afraid of? Miss is getting married soon anyway..."
Ning Xi'er suddenly remembered something and realized she couldn't stay out of it, so she made arrangements!
Judging from the noise, the wedding procession had already entered the main gate and was approaching this way.
Haitang and Baizhi quickened their pace, having already prepared their makeup, hair, and clothes.
Ning Xi'er dismissed the two of them, saying she had a few private words to say to her second brother, Ning Xu.
The crabapple and angelica stood guard outside the door, being very considerate.
"Little sister, is there something you want to tell your brother?"
When Ning Xu entered the room, he assumed Ning Xi'er was about to speak of parting sorrows...
The sound of hurried footsteps had already reached outside the courtyard.
Ning Xi'er kept it brief, informing Ning Xu of Ning Wei's plan to marry her to Prince Cheng...
Upon hearing that the Prince Cheng's mansion was about to be raided and its entire staff exiled, Ning Xu was greatly alarmed.
Fearing that this would alert those outside, Ning Xi'er calmed Ning Xu down and told him that Ning Wei planned to remove her from the picture and remarry the Crown Prince...
Ning Xu gritted his teeth, his eyes bulging with rage.
Ning Xi'er instructed Ning Xu that there were two urgent matters.
Firstly, when they encountered Kong Xiu on the way, they were planning to flee and did not warn him...
But now that we've stayed, the arrangements are naturally different.
Kong Xiu stabilized the Prime Minister's residence and preserved his maternal grandfather's position as Prime Minister, thus preventing his uncle and aunt from suffering.
With her family backing her up, even her scumbag father couldn't easily do anything to her birth mother, Chen Meng.
Madam Chen needs to think twice before taking action against her two elder brothers...
The second thing Ning Xi'er told Ning Xu about her plans: she would devise a scheme to thwart her scumbag father's plans, making herself a pawn and causing him to abandon his plan to remarry her...
"younger sister!"
Ning Xu was shocked. Was his sister going to be exiled with the Prince Cheng's mansion?!
Ning Xi'er nodded and comforted Ning Xu, "Brother, being a pawn also has its advantages..."
No longer will she be targeted by her scumbag father, who used her birth mother and two brothers to morally blackmail her and turn her into a political pawn...
She was manipulated by her scumbag father and married into the Eastern Palace. Later, her two brothers, in order to protect her, were constantly controlled by others...
Stepping back might be the solution to the current predicament.
"Fleeing from famine may be physically tiring, but with angelica and licorice protecting us, you can rest assured about our safety, brother..."
She originally only had two maids, Haitang and Aoxue.
However, her elder brother Ning Che, upon learning that she was about to join the Prince of Cheng's mansion, worried that the mansion was complicated and that she would be bullied...
She specially sent a message by carrier pigeon, selecting two highly skilled bodyguards, Bai Zhi and Gan Cao, to disguise themselves as maids and protect Ning Xi'er at all times.
To make Ning Xi'er look foolish during the wedding procession, Madam Chen sent Gan Cao and Ao Xue away early in the morning, hoping to catch Ning Xi'er's room off guard...
At this moment, Gancao and Aoxue finally finished their tasks and stood outside the courtyard.
More importantly, she revealed to Ning Xu that, after making inquiries from various sources, she had learned of a divine healer in the desolate realm who might be able to cure her mother's illness...
Ning Xu was overjoyed!
This so-called miracle doctor is herself; she's merely using herself as bait, waiting for everything to settle down...
She lured her two elder brothers, under the pretext of seeking medical treatment, to take their mother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces to the desolate land to meet her...
